A pair of good Samaritans on Sunday night dived into a Montgomery County pond to rescue a mother and her baby after their car plunged into the water.

Tim London said he was driving by when he saw their vehicle plow into the water around 7 p.m. near Birnham Woods Drive and Northridge Forest Lane northeast of Spring.

The father of the child, who was behind the wheel during the crash, was first to escape as the vehicle began sinking into at least five feet of water, London said. But the woman was struggling to get her 3-to-4-month-old baby out of the car seat.
